I hope you get that I like to travel by now, yes? So I decided that now that I've graduated and officially have limited to nil responsibilities, I can use my salary to go on trips (and rent..., but that's no fun). I decided on Montreal for my birthday and New Year's! I'm going to rein in my 22nd birthday with the style and grace only a freezing cold capital city could provide me with. I made the trip with my mom and Alex, with Alex's two brothers (hopefully) meeting up with us later...
The view from our hotel room onto downtown Montreal's shopping district. Every looks pretty and snow-drenched...but it's not so nice if you want to walk around. 
On the "chairs" in the subway...so creative
In Laurier neighborhood...very French. Beautiful staircases, but maybe a little impractical for the snow?
Visited the "neighborhood-y" part of Montreal, off Laurier St. More classic, more beautiful than I ever gave Monty credit for! Went to Toaster with Alex and proceeded to gobble this entire tomato and broccoli crepe...
And for New Year's 2007? We went to a huge event space in the Old City - the Marche Bonsecours complex, and met up with our concierge, Clodie, who was exceedingly generous with the bottle service.
Proud brothers...?
With the body painted ladies...wa wa we wa wa
Until next year...
